I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me "why are you moving there, its so bad?". Now that I'm here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says "the policies are dumb" but can't give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

While there are certainly a fair share of people who say that, the more realistic complaint is that a lot of Californians have used WFH to leave the high COL state and move to cheaper areas, while still retaining their pay, and are pricing out historically poor communities. It's a problem that's upset a lot of people
